House is clean - kind of/sort of.
No snow to shovel.
No home improvements planned.
Yep, a chance to let down the hair and relax.

wearing them. They don't take long to make when they are small sizes

Living on a more limited income also means less money to pay people to
come in and do a lot of these jobs for you.
